Graphic Designs and Posters by Ed Nacional (NY)

I saw Ed Nacional's Black River Festival poster a long while ago on a blog or ffffound and knew that we had to do a post on this guy.  Checking out Ed's very clean and newly designed site, there's a ton of awesome and clever work created by this very talented Brooklyn resident.  His Twitter and Flickr are also packed with interesting stuff.

Record Sleeves and Album Art for Com Truise

As if there wasn't enough I could post about Com Truise, there are a ton of great record sleeves (or at least album art) for his releases.  In a way, album art and flyers can be new predominant forms of printed show posters and record labels.  Seriously, how much stuff actually gets printed these days?

Now, I don't know who designed these, but whoever it is has a good eye -- that is, if it is even the same person.  If you have a tip to the designer, please let us know so we can give him credit!
But yeah, even his website is freaking well designed:

Music Video: Com Truise - Fairlight

All I can say about this track by Com Truise is OH MY GOD where have you been all my life.  Enjoy the Eighties-style animation in this fun video. Note for visual junkies, it starts getting trippy about halfway through. It appears to be produced by 10lb Pictures.

Retro-Futuristic Star Wars Travel Posters by Steve Thomas

So apparently graphic designer Steve Thomas has been holding out on all of us and was holding back Star Wars travel posters from the omniscient eyes of the world wide web, biding his time like a true Jedi while everyone else put out their Star Wars art mash-ups.  

Based just north of the Twin-Cities (TIL Twin-Cities = Minneapolis & Saint Paul), Steve has a liking for retro-futuristic mid-20th century  design inspiration, as is evident in his works.  Theres just so much gung-ho-ness in these posters that I think I'm going to go to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters for my B-Wing to fly out and travel to these places.
